HotCakeX Thanks for getting the news out and kicking off this discussion. 🙂 I'm thrilled to let you all know ( PNvmkpk YgorCortes seancorfield SOI_7 ) that this feature has now been fully released to our Canary and Dev channels! Here's our official announcement from our https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/whats-new page:

"Save multiple tabs to Collections

We have heard from feedback that you are using Collections to organize your web projects, and that there should be an easier way to save and open all tabs you're working with. That is why we're excited to announce that you can now quickly save all your tabs and reopen them using Collections. To save your tabs to a collection, simply right-click on a tab and select Add all tabs to a new collection. Tabs in your active window will be added to a new collection with the option to rename it. To reopen those tabs, right-click on the collection and select either to open the items in the current window, a new window, or an InPrivate window.

We would love for you to try this feature out and hope you send us feedback! You can send us feedback via the chat icon in the top right of the browser, or by reaching out to us on Twitter at @MSEdgeDev."

As always, we'd love to get your feedback about this feature. Enjoy!

There will hopefully be a separate button added for it as many users asked for it too but to be honest it's very simple to right-click on a tab and select "add all tabs to collection". it's just 2 clicks.

Yes, the "Add tabs to collection" function is super quick in the current state, but it's the resume that is a bit clunky. If I were the Edge team, I'd at least make the "Open all" button always visible in the Collections menu so that even the resume is a 2 clicks action

xunderworldx Thanks for sending in that feedback.

The "add all tabs" feature was added to Collections fairly recently, so it's currently working its way up through Canary and Dev. However, if all goes smoothly, it's expected to be coming to Beta in the near future. In the meantime, feel free to give it a try on one of the https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download and let us know what you think of it so far! And if you'd like to join the formal discussion about bringing back the legacy "set tabs aside" functionality, you can comment in this thread too.

So I tested collections on the beta version, and I can't add all tabs to a collection at once. You have to do one page at a time, that is ridiculous. Also it wont remember that you have closed out of some tabs and added new ones unless you add yet again another collection. They really really need to bring back the "set these tabs aside". I sent feedback, but if everyone can send the same feedback perhaps they will listen.@fawkesDeleted

SOI_7 xunderworldx Thanks for sharing that idea for Collections functionality. I chatted with the team, and they asked that you submit this through the in-browser feedback (if you haven't yet) so that they can keep track of it.
